i think mine might say dmc. i'm pretty sure actually. they have a picture of a little head shouting and wearing a black and white cap.

Plain black. I guess that makes me a goth.

Ninja Tune "Save Vinyl" ones. Which bears no reflection on me, other than it says I haven't changed them since I bought the decks.

i read that as back pain nick. i am tired.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 21 May 2004 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Slipmats? Bah. Couple the vinyl to the platter directly with a screw-down clamp.

Mine must be the same as Nick's - what an extraordinary coincidence!

"Nuphonic". My bag says the same thing on it as well... ah, the days of crappy comps in the student paper no cunt wanted to enter...

Cafe Del Mar - Ibiza (but I don't use it as my turntable is too close to the stylus arm, no gap)

and a seven inch one with dink, "Twisted Nerve"

Is what just bare steel?

Anyway, think of it like this:

Turntable, slipmat, record, stylus arm = stylus won't lift up over this collection which now resembles (to it) a fillet tower burger.

Everything But The Girl (!) - it's not them on it tho, rather a barcode

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

yes...so you just go turntable (bare steel???), record, stylus arm??

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, theres a rubber mattie on the turntable... (Am I missing something here, should I wrench the mat off to use a slippie?)

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

yes!!!!!!

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

although "wrench"

also "cafe del mar"

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:33 (twenty-two years ago)

ooohhhh....

Anyway, only one turntable. Not the same mix with one technics and one dansette...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)

haha me too. only i lost the rubber mat thing and feel slightly silly.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to have "Beat Street" slipmats, big honking yellow ones. I think they got stolen though. Now I've got dumb green Technics ones but I turn them over so they're plain.. I like to think they are suggestive of a gambling parlour

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 21 May 2004 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

warp ones upside down. they were free.

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Friday, 21 May 2004 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I just use the rubber mat that came with the turntable, but I do have a Boss Hog one that came with their Geffen LP. I stopped using it because it made me dizzy watching 7"ers play.

― Vic Funk, Friday, 21 May 2004 12:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I've got soem old Warp ones too.
